Ugh, same. Did you know that, without the flaregun, a scout using the scattergun will always beat a pyro unless he really screws up? And a point-blank crit from the FaN deals exactly 175 points of damage?

No, they’re actually harder with the shotgun, because the scattergun does enough more damage than the shotgun that you’ll always lose that fight, but two flares in quick succession and they’re dead. Always assuming you hit, but usually they don’t manage to dodge them.

Jerk is subjective. Unless you are talking in the verb sense. In which case it is factual.

So many people seem to think just because they enjoy stealthy kills they are cowardly jerks. But that’s looking at it from the nirvana complex way of thinking. The there is only me and my circle of friends whom have opinions that matter way of perception. The Spy’s likely have their own class that they think of as jerks. Mayhaps the pyro or the heavy whom frequently spycheck anyone and everyone(at least when I played they did). Or the sniper whom can kill them before they can stealth.

I picked spy because the Spy is the most universal foe. Not everyone fears the pyro, or the scout, or even the heavy. But EVERYONE has been stabbed in the back by a Spy. So the sentiment will ring true for a lot of people.

Spies hate pyros and those engineers who back themselves into corners where they can’t get backstabbed before sapping.

I probably don’t hate spies as much because I tend to play spy a lot and know the frustrating pain of rounding a corner in the only route to the enemy base while C&D’d, only to run into a pyro and die. Or stab in sight of a sniper and die. Or have a stab target turn at the last second and die. Or have a soldier randomly shoot a rocket directly at my face while cloaked and die. Spies are more luckbased than skillbased.

It’s bad enough that I make a rule of always being in cloak until nearly stabbing time, because otherwise all too often someone will randomly shoot me. Not that being shot is rare even in cloak, especially from heavies. And pyros, but I’m not dumb enough to get close to them when they’re flamer-happy.

That’s why I don’t go all flamer-happy at empty air while playing pyro. It can even drown out the decloak noise and get you stabbed.

As I was reading this one, I saw one of the ads on the side for the Web Comic Contest. Then I realized that you’ve shown us all an example of making a funny comic w/o needing a lot of artistic ability (though I must say, I think it is funnier to read from the bottom up – the top frame made me laugh the most).

So, I wonder if this might inspire a few more entries into the contest? :)

Well you always have to scroll over to get the “final word” in an xkcd comic. It can be a pain when the text is long, but whatever, it’s the thing.

I thought 631 was hilarious because Randall is right: if you go on Wikipedia, the anatomy pictures look really cheesy. The one for the vagina looks like a girl is sitting on a barstool with one hand on her cellphone camera and one hand spreading her junk.
